Oliver Marcus flows more easily off the tongue. One thing that I think helps names flow is to alter the syllables per name. Oliver (3 syllables) and Marcus (2). Also alternate the vowel sound... I agree that Archie Marcus has too much of an "Arrr" sound about it.
I like Oliver, but then I like more traditional names for boys. Then Aiden (reminds me of sex and the city LOL) and lastly Archie...I don't really like Archie, sorry. It's a gorgeous *boys* name, but it's not really a man's name IMO.
I LURVEEEEEEE Oliver I would call DS2 Oliver except i already have a Oscar and dont want them to have the same initials.
my choice would be ...
1. Oliver
2. Archie
3. Aiden- like the spelling Ayden alot more
DH and I were talking last night and are so lost! We like all three names but dont LOVE one particular name. We like Marcus but cant use it as a first name, so if we can we would like to keep Marcus as a middle name.. Any other name suggestions would be appreciated! We had also liked Hunter and Noah at one stage... they might come back into the mix! OMG who said picking baby names was easy?!?!?!?
